Manchester City have won the English Premier League after Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion.
With City’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur’s on Saturday, Man United had to avoid defeat against Albion to keep the title race alive.
But Jay Rodriguez’s goal at Old Trafford sent the EPL trophy to the other side of Manchester for the third time in seven seasons.
The defeat took City to 16 points clear of United. They have scored 93 goals and lost only twice all season.
By winning the title with five matches remaining, City have equalled the English top-flight record (Manchester United in 1907-08 and 2000-01, and Everton in 1984-85 all won the top-flight title with five games to spare).
The league title is Pep Guardiola’s seventh in nine seasons as a manager.
